This idiots going to point out how easy an edited cut can be used to string two possibly unrelated events together. Especially on an unknown range.Some idiot is still going to say the gun keyholes.
Batter up, already called.
We don't need to read anything to know that; QBU-191 is the DMR/HBAR variant that we've known about since like 2019.
Ah ok. I didnt know the IAR and DMR are same variant. Was kinda odd to see a DMR fired in full auto.

Not really. Many “DMR” are just long barrel versions of their rifle parents. It saves time and money. As such many have the capability but it’s rarely used. Some even have used IAR/Heavy barrel rifles as poormans DMRs. L86A1 was used as such.
Generally its doable primarily because of the nature of the Designated marksmen role.
DMs are not snipers they are just regular riflemen who maybe proved the best shots in their unit and possibly received additional training. As such they don’t need a hyper accurate sub MOA rifle capable of shooting the buttons off an elf on the shelf at a 1.5 KM. They just need to be able to nail a man sized target at 500m. Which is what most infantry rifles can do. And some LMGs.
As such even a general base line issue rifle can be made into a “DMR” with little more than a scope and bipod.

Such setup either in a pinch or just as well use it as such, because what makes a DMR a DMR is the combo of specialist ammo, barrel and low-MOA scope.
If they already have a new SAW for such role then should leave it be.
There could be some situations or environments where a belt fed SAW might not be as preferable as this sort of HBAR/LSW.
Nothing wrong with using a DMR in the LSW role through adopting some different attachments.
After all the M27 IAR and M38 DMR are the same exact rifle but with some different scopes and accessories, and after proliferation of VCOGs the differences are almost academic.

The M27/38 is a headache. It’s not an LMG the marines don’t even issue it with a high capacity magazine.
It’s as heavy as the XM7 despite being an assault rifle and not a battle rifle. With the VCOG now the marines standard issue the M38 pretty much doesn’t exist. As the NGSW proliferation into the U.S. Army goes ahead it’s probable that the M27 will follow the M38 into the history books. With XM250 taking the IAR role as it was designed to in the Army and XM7 takes the rifle and DMR roles.
The USMC call the M27 an Infantry Automatic rifle, what they got was basically an M4A1 with a Piston system, heavy barrel, funky rail system and bunch of proprietary parts. They then back doored it into an infantry rifle. The main reason they did this was urban fighting where the Marines wanted selective fire to allow the squad gunners to have a rifle better suited to close quarters cleaning. They also wanted them to operate as accurately as the rest of the squad so semi automatic fire.
In Magazine vs belt. A box magazine is generally less likely to jam so long as it’s a well designed magazine in good repair vs a belt that can get debris trapped in it. However a drum is the worst of both worlds.
